These photos seriously crack me up! We took these the other morning & it was sooo dang windy, but I think they capture some of the morning craziness around here, haha. Truman is back to school a few times a week + we are back on our schedule. The cool weather is creeping in (yay!!) and it has been fun to start pulling out some of the kid’s cute fall clothes! Truman loves his morning routine, just like his mama! I thought I could share what our mornings look like around here.

I wake up before the kiddos. Depending on the day and what I have scheduled, I will either get ready for the day or wash up and put my gym clothes on. I fill up my water cup and check my emails quickly before starting the kids’ breakfast.

The kids usually wake up around 7 and I start getting them ready. I get Truman dressed, brush his teeth, and do his hair. Next, I do the same with Tatum. We find our kids do best with getting ready first and then they can take their time to eat and chill in the mornings!

My kids love eggs, turkey bacon, protein waffles or pancakes, or sometimes good ol’ cereal, ha! I usually make Truman’s lunch while they’re eating. On Sunday nights I usually make their PB & honey sandwiches for the week and throw them in the freezer- by the time lunch rolls around they are perfectly thawed and Truman actually prefers them this way. Tatum loves to snack on these, too! Pre making the sandwiches gives me one less thing to do + less dishes.. #winwin!

Next, I load up the kids in the car and we head to school. I love this time of the morning. We say our prayers, positive affirmations, and just chat. I try to really set the tone for the day for the kids in the mornings. Kids totally vibe off their parents and I feel like the days are much happier and go more smoothly when I am calm and organized.

Setting out Truman + Tatum’s clothes at night helps the process, as well. I make sure even socks, bows, and shoes are set out! This year we picked up the kid’s fall shoes from Nordstrom + some of their cute clothes, including the outfits in this post. Nordstrom always has the cutest selection for the kids & I appreciate the quality of their products!
